Simple file upload to Google Drive

My bubble website generates .docx files that are stored at downloads.webserver.com and my site is hosted at webserver.com on bubble.io.

I’d like users to be able to be able to upload these .docx files to their Google drive with minimal fuss. I purchased the Google Drive API plugin, but I can’t figure out how to get existing users to be able to upload files to Google drive.

When I add the upload a file action, it looks for an oauth2 token I don’t have yet. I don’t know how I can authorise an existing user on my platform. I can see that I can create a new account based on Google registration, but this would create a new user. How can I authorise an existing bubble.io user to upload files to their Google account?

Hello @ian4

Thanks for reaching out!

You can use the Signup/login with Google Drive action. If the user’s email already exists in the database, it won’t create a new user in your app; instead, they will log in to their existing account.

If you experience any further problems, please feel free to contact me. :pray:
